[Bug 1021437] Re: gnome settings picks the wrong file in /sys/class/backlight to change the brightness
I am quite late on this subject, but I found several points that that may be relevant: - I have two different laptops that have the same symptoms as descibed here: one is a Toshiba Satellite T130-11U (more than 3 year old but still working) the other is a Dell Inspiron 15 3521 (brand new) - Both are now used with Ubuntu 13.04 32 bits (low memory = I prefer 32 bit versions). so I confirm the bug is still present in versions 13.04 ... i386 - on both I noticed that I can read and modify the backlight value, which allows the scripted modification... - I am seeking for a more comfortable way to modify it. replacing the standard, not working key association is my first idea. I found that the keycodes for lowering/increassing brightness are respectively 232 and 233. - I also found that these keycodes are intercepted by gnome-settings- daemon (google...), but how should it be modified ??? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021437 Title: gnome settings picks the wrong file in /sys/class/backlight to change the brightness To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1021437/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Could someone affected by the bug please test this again using Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail and confirm that the bug is still present ? Also ensure you have the latest BIOS version for your hardware, as sometimes the BIOS reports incorrect information to the system. ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021437 Title: gnome settings picks the wrong file in /sys/class/backlight to change the brightness To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1021437/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1021437] Re: gnome settings picks the wrong file in /sys/class/backlight to change the brightness
Almost the same affects my laptop - Sony Vaio VPCYA1C5E - from the beginning of using Kubuntu from the version 11.04 Current DistroRelease is Kubuntu 12.10 In the folder /sys/class/backlight I have two soft-linked subfolder: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 9 20:19 acpi_video0 - ../../devices/pci:00/:00:02.0/backlight/acpi_video0/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 9 20:19 intel_backlight - ../../devices/pci:00/:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-LVDS-1/i If I use hot-keys for backlight adjustment the corresponding values are saved into the brightness files under /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/ folder but the brightness is not changed. If I call sudo sh -c 'echo [number] /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness then the brightness is changed properly accordingly to the provided [number]. Probably hot-keys and system events trigger-scripts is bound to the wrong folder. But I don't know how to change that binding.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
